According to this news article that was just published by CNN, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted the following:
I have noticed that Junior here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever the Mueller investigation heats up.
Please, keep it coming Jr – it’s definitely a “very, very large brain” idea to troll a member of a body that will have subpoena power in a month.
Have fun!
Ocasio-Cortez is threatening to use her power as a federal lawmaker to punish someone who exercised his first amendment right to free speech.
Such a threat is a violation of House Ethics rules.
The Congressional Committee on Ethics states:
https://ethics.house.gov/campaign-activity/campaign-contributions-and-contributors
Members and staff are not to take or withhold any official action on the basis of the campaign contributions or support of the involved individuals, or their partisan affiliation. Members and staff are likewise prohibited from threatening punitive action on the basis of such considerations.
She is not yet a House member. But give her time.
Did SwalloWell when he threatened to nuke us all?
Good lord, help the nation avoid these total basket cases
Ethics?
Pinkos?
Nope.
Crazy, little Stalinist.
However, as soon as she is sworn in, I believe they can file against her. You come to the table with your history.
Who, on the GOP side, would have to make something of this if they chose to? Paul Ryan will soon be out of the picture, so who else would have authority to bring this up for serious discussion? Hopefully, someone not afraid of what the New York Times would say about them.
The house will not be operating under house rules come January.
Nothing will happen to her..she is borderline mentally retarded..she makes Forrest Gump look brilliant and he had an iQ of 75..she is a Communist so therefore she is brilliant in the minds of the commie media
Has Commie Cortez set up the Foundation Laundry yet?
The bug eyed space cadet is dumb as a box of rocks. You can’t fix stupid but it seems you can elect it to congress.
Yup me too, some one will take her dum-ass aside and tell her to STFU
“Members and staff are not to take or withhold any official action on the basis of the campaign contributions or support of the involved individuals, or their partisan affiliation. Members and staff are likewise prohibited from threatening punitive action on the basis of such considerations.”
Here is my prediction:
Nancy Pelosi probably knows this and is remembering this. When Nancy wants something, she’ll dig it out and let O-C know that she knows.
She’ll muscle O-C into saying something good about Nancy to all of her young voters and then it will disappear.
I think Alexandria knows this already. She now understands that Pelosi will likely have her destroyed if she steps out of line, or rejects Nancy again.
Pelosi is more and more of a scary person the deeper you look. Doesn’t scare me, but I bet the dems kneel when she walks down the hall.
As with Mad Maxine just look at the constituents that put her there.
Total ignorance and government dependancy
They can claim ignorance. And be 105% correct!
I am sure the Pelosi will get right on that. Cortez has just told the entire world that she is corrupt and plans to abuse her power. And she will get away with it.
Looks like fun back in her college days.
